Link the installation instructions in the "how to make a reproducible example" automated comment

Tell us more.

Since I'm running the bot self-hosted, I wasn't up-to-date on how to set up Renovate for a GitHub repo when I tried to create a reproducible example. So at first I assumed/hoped that the template would simply include that, and then eventually I had to dig around for the docs to find the right app.

It would probably remove a bit of friction if the automated comment contained a dedicated step with a link to the GitHub app's installation page directly.
Even for people that already have the app installed it would cut down the clicks required to assign their repos (in case they don't give blanket permissions to the app).

I not sure if that particular page you picked is the best choice here to reduce friction. I specifically mentioned "direct link to the GitHub app" above, because that's probably what's easiest for most to set up, and should cover most cases.

But the linked page merely mentions that app in passing at the top, and without a link. I think out of the docs, Installing & Onboarding would have been a better choice.

The link you mention is at the beginning of the Running Renovate guide, so its noy much friction. Also, the running renovate covers self-hosted cases, so its better for all cases ... instead of just covering the Github App installation.
